Customer Reviews

I recently bought this block set after trying one of the Global knives at a friend's house. She was telling me the reason she loves them is because she has smaller hands and these handles actually fit in her palm AND are comfortable. Also, the handles are sand filled so they are not too heavy and provide perfect balance. I am obsessed with them! The knives are super sharp and I love the modern look of the block. Most knife blocks can be kind of boring but this one is actually attractive

I did some research on Global knives before purchasing this set. The tests completed on Global knives vs others of equal, lesser and greater cost were comforting as Global appeared to rank highly across many categories.

This set of knives is EXACTLY what you need and nothing more or less. I felt it was a good choice for quality and price point. They are light weight and cut beautifully.

The block itself is what initially drew me in and then when I found positive feedback on these knives in conjunction with learning that Giada uses this brand...well, it was a no brainer. :)

This knife set is all you need. Not only are the knives incredible, lightweight, and sharp as heck, but the knife holder is gorgeous and I love having it sit out on the counter. It's a thing of beauty, as opposed to more traditional knife blocks, which can look boring in a more modern kitchen

So far so good! We received our set over the Thanksgiving weekend and the whole family gave them a try. Cutting and orange with tough skin felt like cutting butter. This is a great set, especially for the price!

Previous boyfriend owned a set just like this and I loved using them. I thought the block they were stored in made for a nice display as well. Very lightweight and didn't feel so bulky in my hand like so many other brands.

We bought this set for several reasons: its much more affordable than buying "al a carte" Glabal knives; we need a good starter knife set; it wasn't purchased from our wedding registry elsewhere; its the most attractive Global block I've seen; I've always wanted a set of Global knives! Very excited . Can't wait for it to arrive!

I have wonderful knives I've bought over the years at Sur La Tab and elsewhere but have never found the perfect block. THis looks like it. Can I please buy just the block, and if so, how much would it be.Global� 6-Piece Block SKU: 1157817Thank

I just bought the knives and I'm not yet sure of the best way to sharpen them. My husband said, "I guess I'll have to learn to use a whet stone." Perhaps someone who has owned Global knives for a period of time can provide a general recommendation as to how often they should be sharpened and what kind of stone to use. BTW, my new knives are very sharp.

BEST ANSWER:Yes the blades are exposed but there is a plexiglass shield that protects you from cutting yourself and protects the knives getting dinged by another counter object. The base is well constructed, the wooden block is very attractive and plexiglass shield is never at risk of being scratch by pulling knives out or putting them back into their places.

There is plexiglass in front of the sharp side of the blades. The other side is open and has about an inch of one knife sticking out below the wood, approximately 3 inches for 2 of the knives and about 5 inches for the center knife, smallest doesn't stick out below the wood.
